Meet the Team
Dr Joshua Ashwood - Chiropractor
Josh graduated in 2016 with a double Bachelors degree in Chiropractic. He practiced in Perth, Australia for 3 years before moving to London, UK with his wife in 2019. After a further 4 years of practice in London he is now the clinic director at Spine Chiropractic in Perth.
Josh is a certified Chiropractic Biophysics® practitioner after completing further studies in America. Within the profession, Chiropractic Biophysics® is the most researched and evidence-based technique in corrective spinal rehabilitation and postural correction.
Josh enjoys travelling with his wife, time with family and friends, and is passionate about health and physical fitness. One of the things Josh enjoys most about his work is seeing the life changing impact that chiropractic care and patient education can have to the everyday normal person. This could be the office worker with debilitating headaches who’s missing out enjoying life, someone with worsening and progressive back pain or simply a client who’s noticed their posture has deteriorated over the years.
Marcella Santos - Rehab Clinician/Massage Therapist
Marcella brings over a decade of experience in soft tissue therapy, where she focused on chronic pain management, injuries and post-surgery recovery. At Spine Chiropractic, she supports our patients by delivering soft tissue therapy and personalized exercise plans, combining clinical expertise with compassionate understanding.
Her passion for movement extends beyond the clinic. As a certified yoga teacher and somatic therapist, Marcella understands the transformative power of movement and mindfulness. She incorporates elements of yoga and somatic therapy into her practice, fostering a holistic approach that promotes not just physical recovery but overall well-being.
When she's not in clinic she enjoys exploring new dance styles and deepening her yoga practice, always seeking to learn through playful exploration of movement, connection and mindfulness.
Beth Cook - Chiropractic Assistant
Beth is our Chiropractic Assistant, tending to the clinic’s reception and admin needs. She’s passionate about health and wellbeing with a love of running, gym and water/snow sports. Beth is a keen traveller, bit of a bookworm and lifelong love for home cooking. She’s looking forward to welcoming you into our clinic and making you feel at home within the Spine chiropractic community!
